What's the difference between Rwazi and GWI?

GWI builds audience profiles that show who your audience is across its markets: their attributes, interests, and media consumption. Rwazi powers the decisions enterprises run on, across 190+ countries. Sena makes each one defensible: real activity from a 5M+ consumer network, verified by computer vision, and goes through a QA flow before it reaches your desk.

GWI tells you who your audience is. Sena shows what those people actually buy, at what price and where, and turns profile and purchase into the next move.

The profile, and the purchase

GWI maps who your audience is. Rwazi's contributors capture what those people buy, receipts and photos included, so who they are and what they choose sit side by side.

Deployment scoped to your audience

Ask Sena about a segment, and it focuses the consumer network on that segment's own markets and channels, and returns the call with the evidence attached.

A campaign, weighed against real buying

The profile says who to target. Sena weighs the move against what those markets are actually buying and returns the call.

Where GWI reaches its edges

GWI is a strong choice for audience profiling and segmentation at global scale. Teams look for a GWI alternative when a few specific decisions turn on what people actually buy, right now.

Buyer intent and demand

What the audience actually buys

A profile maps who people are; the purchase decision is a separate act, made at a price, in a place.

Global expansion

Markets and categories past the coverage

Profiling runs on a defined set of markets; your footprint may run past it.

Demand sensing

Movement between the profile refreshes

Profiles refresh on a cadence, so the shift that starts between updates surfaces in the next one.

Executive decision support

The decision itself, drawn from the data

The profile lands; turning it into the media plan's next call is still your team's week.

Custom decision support

Bespoke decision questions

Standardized profiling answers the audience question; your question is about your move.

How Rwazi helps where the gap shows?

The segment's baskets.

The profile names the segment; the media plan needs what they bought last month. Ask Sena, and it captures the segment's actual buying, price points, and channels included.

Every market and category, one source.

Your footprint runs past the markets your profiles cover. One contributor network captures activity across 190+ countries and every category, so the entire footprint draws on a single source.

Between the refreshes, live.

The profile refreshes on a cadence; the market moves between updates. Sena watches live activity continuously, so a shift in what the audience buys is visible while there is still time to act.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Rwazi and GWI?+

GWI builds audience profiles that show who your audience is across its markets: their attributes, interests, and media consumption. Rwazi captures consent-based consumer activity across 190+ countries and every category, and Sena turns it into a decision backed by evidence. GWI tells you who your audience is; Sena shows what those people actually buy and hands back the next move.

How current is GWI data?+

GWI runs continuous collection with profile updates on a cadence, which suits audience definition and planning. Sena runs on the market's clock: live capture of what people buy, so the movement between two profile updates is visible while there is still time to act.

Does Rwazi replace audience profiling?+

Most teams keep their audience profiling and add Sena alongside it. GWI tells you who your audience is; Rwazi captures what they actually buy across every market and category, and Sena turns both into the decision. Profile and purchase sit together well.

What is zero-party data?+

Zero-party data is information people hand over themselves, with consent. Rwazi gathers consumer activity this way across 190+ countries, so every signal is yours to use and traces back to a named source. That consent and traceability is what lets Sena stand behind every decision it returns.

Do Rwazi and GWI publish pricing?+

Both price by plan and scope rather than a public list. The cheapest way to compare is a scoped pilot: one market or one category, your own question, and the answer in front of you before you commit anything larger. To know more about pricing, click here.

What does GWI do?+

GWI is an audience profiling and segmentation platform. It builds detailed profiles of your audience based on what people share about themselves, so marketing and media teams can define target audiences and plan campaigns. For audience profiling, it is the reference many media plans are built on, which is exactly why teams keep it.

Which is better for what people actually buy?+

It depends on the decision. For defining and segmenting audiences, GWI is built for exactly that, and teams keep it. Sena is the better fit for captured consumer activity and the call with the evidence.

How is Rwazi's Decision AI different from audience profiling?+

Audience profiling gives your team profiles to interpret. Sena does the interpreting: it weighs the captured buying activity and returns the call itself with the evidence attached.

How do you know the data is representative?+

Every signal comes from a real person who shares it directly, with consent, carrying a geo-tag and a timestamp. An automated falsification check and a multi-step QA flow verify each one before it reaches Sena, and coverage is weighted by contributor density and geography. Many answers open to the dated photo behind the number. We can share market-level validation for your own category, so the numbers stand up to the same scrutiny as the ones you take to your board. Coverage varies by market, and we are clear about where it is deepest.
